Application Process

High School transcripts, if you are using High School courses to meet the Foreign Language or Intermediate Algebra UW admission requirements

Three Recommendations from the necessary recommenders (see application instructions). The recommendation forms are submitted electronically; please acquire the necessary email addresses from your recommenders to use to fill out the Recommendations section of the application.

Please ask the Office of Admissions any questions regarding the online application or about submission of your application materials:

International Students and U.S. Applicants who were Educated Internationally

Both international students and U.S. applicants who were educated internationally who submit transcripts from educational institutions outside the U.S. as part of your application should allow extra time (at least 30 days) for evaluation of your admissions file.

Effective April 1, 2009, UW Bothell Admissions is conducting its own evaluation of international transcripts; however, they may still require you to present a transcript evaluation from an agency that specializes in providing international transcript evaluations

Admissions Aadvising

All potential and current applicants are encouraged to make an appointment to discuss your educational plans. In person, online chat, phone, and email advising are available. Please contact the Office of Admissions for advising or general information at 425.352.5000 or info@uwb.edu. If you meet with an admissions advisor, please plan on having copies of all of your transcripts from prior schools (including high school) available.

Application Review

Effective with the Winter 2015 admissions cycle, once your application materials are complete in the Office of Admissions, expect a review of your application in three-four weeks on average. We no longer wait until after our application deadline to issue admission decisions.
